The past decade has witnessed enormous advances in our understanding of the formation and evolution of structure in the Universe. However, in the last few years several observations have focused the attention of the cosmological community on one of the least understood processes in the Universe's evolution; the epoch of reionization of the IGM. As a result, a large amount of effort is currently dedicated to understanding the physical processes that trigger and govern the evolution of this epoch and their ramifications on subsequent structure formation. So far we only have a handful of observations that give rough constraints on the reionization process. In the near future, however, several experiments -- most notably the LOFAR/EoR project, PAST and MWA -- are designed to measure the hydrogen neutral fraction of the IGM as a function of redshift and angular position through the hyper-fine 21 cm spectral line, and thereby shed light on many aspects of the physics of the reionization process, e.g.:

• The nature of the first objects that ended the Universe's dark-ages and ionized the IGM.
• How fast the reionization spreads through the IGM?
• Which regions ionize first (inside-out vs. outside-in)?
• How many HI reionization epochs there are (single, double, etc.)?
• What are the detectable imprints that the details of the reionization process leave on the 21 cm signal?
• What can we learn from the 21 cm measurements about the matter density fluctuations at these pristine conditions?
• Could there be detectable individual QSO ionized HII regions against a neutral background?

With the projected schedules of LOFAR, PAST and, possibly, MWA aiming at 2007 for the start of data collection, the purpose of this meeting is to bring together observers, theoreticians and simulators of the IGM and epoch of reionization. Our hope is to focus the attention of both communities on the observational properties of the expected measurements and the various physical processes that might produce them, within the larger context of current cosmological models and the physics of the IGM.
